Well Struck except at centers (as usual for this variety). A frosty example with plenty of eye appeal and endless possibilities for the astute collector. 32,488 coins minted. Pop 21; 48 finer.
The venerable heraldic eagle style reverse, introduced on the half eagle in 1798 (but found on one back-dated 1795 variety) lasted until 1807 when the mint assigned John Reich the task of revising the design.
